I have to see the Nutritionists on the 20th. I would like to be prepared for any question she has. Should I make a list of my daily meal intake. Or what it is that I buy at the grocery store? What will they ask for?

@@flmommyof2 Everyone is different, mostly they will tell you what nutrition looks like after banding. They may have a questionnaire for you to fill out that might ask some questions about what you eat or what your eating habits are. If you wanted to bring a list of groceries or what your meal plans currently look like that wouldn't hurt they may or may not review them with you but it will help you to get an idea of what your doing now vs. what you will be doing after surgery.

They are not or should not be there to make judgements they are there to help you to learn and have good nutrition and eating mechanics post banding.

Good luck!!

Thank you "lisacaron" for taking the time to answer my question. I DO have a few questions I would like to ask her about how much daily intake of carbs,calories and protein I should take in. I was afraid she expect me to have done my research and already know this. Thanks again so much hun. Have a blessed day:)

Just got back from surgeon and I have problems with my liver by taking too many med's. I have to lose 60 lbs before surgery. The medical history I'll have to have the sleeve. The surgeon has set me up with Dr's to help. I half to be on liquid diet like your going to be on so the weight will come off.

I'm so sorry hun that you are having liver problems. But keep faith and you will get that 60 out of the way and get to have your surgery. I will sure be praying for you sweetie!! Message me anytime!
